Hiring A Plumber? 5 Factors That Will Influence Your Choice

A plumbing issue can be a major headache. Hiring a professional you can trust to fix the problem is crucial. After all, you’ll be allowing this person to work in your home and relying on him to do a good job and do it right.

Mistakes can cost you money now and affect your home value in the future. Follow these simple steps when hiring a plumber to ensure that you get what you’re paying for — expert advice and excellent service:

Ask to see your contractor’s master plumber license from the city of Cincinnati or a suburb.

Make sure the master plumber license is current. It should begin with the letter “M” and be included in your contractor’s advertising.

Make sure the master plumber has a certificate of insurance on file. Hamilton County Public Health requires a $10,000 performance bond to ensure that jobs are completed and installed to code, but counties don’t license plumbers.

Check with the Better Business Bureau to learn about any complaints filed.
